KitchenAid 5-Ply Clad Polished Stainless Steel Stock Pot/Stockpot with Lid, 6 Quart - Stainless Steel

This brand never disappoints.

Awesome 5 ply similar to an All-Clad 5-ply but at a discount price depending on when you buy!!! Shiny multi layered steel, heavy thick bottom and a good capacity (6 Quart) the c which distributes the heat evenly…ideal for cooking large quantities of food such as Pasta, Gravy or anything at all. We have used it for several things the past few months and everything turned out so well without sticking. The inside wall has easy to read markings in liters/Quarts to follow those recipes to the dot; the handle is coated with KitchenAid etched on it. Dimensions: The stock pot's dimensions in inches are Height:5"; Outside diameter is 10" (edge to edge) How to use: Before cooking in any of the stainless steel appliances, I let the utensil heat up for few mins, then I do the water bead test, if the water beads up and rolls on the surface then it's ready for cooking otherwise you just let it heat up on medium heat for some more time and retry the bead test again. By using this method, the food does not stick to your pan and you don't have to use a lot of grease as well. Cleaning: When it comes to cleaning the steel appliances, all you need is just some soap, vinegar and warm water. I make a mixture of Dish Soap, Vinegar and water 2:1:1 ratio and then fill it up in a spray bottle; use this to clean the steel appliances and they always come like brand new. For any sticky and stubborn food residue, I soak the pan with hot water and the above mixture overnight then tackle it in the morning. If it still doesn't come out then I add 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of water and 1 TSP of dish soap concentrate to the pan and heat it on stove until the whole mixture starts boiling, then scrub it with a brush or anything with a handle; you have to be careful as the contents will be boiling hot. They always come out super clean. I rarely use a steel wool as that will ruin the finish of the stainless steel. Overall, a high quality stock pot. Highly recommend to anyone!!!

I have the 6qt. Its more of a 5.5qt pot with a little extra room for the lid - said as a positive. Nice heavy-duty, quality pot, sort of close to dutch oven-like in size (9.5" interior surface). I mainly use it as that second pot that is used to boil or steam anything that will go with the main meal, while being my go-to for soups and stews. Toss it in the dishwasher pretty regularly (these have sealed rims) - its still holding up. No complaints.

Great quality and good price. Perfect for soups and stews..

Great value for such a sturdy and beautiful stockpot
